Refrigerators often experience significant temperature fluctuations due to various factors:
Opening the door : Every time the refrigerator door is opened, hot air enters, which can cause temperature fluctuations.
Refrigerator Cooling Cycle: Refrigerators operate in cycles, alternating between cooling and non-cooling periods, which can cause temperature fluctuations.
Refrigerator Defrost Cycle : During the defrost cycle, the temperature inside the refrigerator may temporarily increase.
Improper product placement : If products are too close to the refrigerator walls or block the air vents, it can cause temperature fluctuations.
A temperature monitoring system, like the one offered by ATEK, makes it possible to track these variations. However, it is also essential to document deviations to ensure optimal operation.
How can I increase the thermal inertia of my refrigerator?
How can I increase the thermal inertia of my refrigerator?
Thermal inertia is the ability of a material to maintain its temperature. To increase it in your refrigerator, you can use water bottles. Here are some practices to adopt:
Fill unused areas : Place water bottles in unused areas of the refrigerator, such as near the evaporator (top), on the bottom shelf, in door compartments, and around shelves.
Dye water bottles : Color water bottles blue with food coloring to prevent people from being tempted to drink them.
Add rubbing alcohol : A little rubbing alcohol in the water prevents bacterial growth.
Space containers : Be sure to separate containers to allow air circulation around them.
In addition to stabilizing the refrigerator temperature, using water bottles has other benefits:
Fault Resistance : In the event of a compressor failure or electrical outage, the water in the bottles increases the time it takes for the refrigerator temperature to rise, protecting your products for longer.
Freeze Protection : If the compressor goes into overdrive, water bottles can help prevent products from freezing.
By adopting these simple and effective practices, you can ensure more stable operation of your refrigerator, reduce the need for documentation, and ensure the safety of your products. With ATEK, benefit from precise monitoring and peace of mind.
